The Grand Santhi Hotel

The staff were very accommodating, and seemingly blissfully ignorant of the hotel's inadequacy. They were so nice it hurts to write this review. If you have business in Denpasar or the University this hotel is ideally located, and for foreigners its important to note that safe, bank-secure ATMs are in walking distance as well as multiple good-quality shopping centres. The WiFi was strong and the TV had channels in many foreign languages for international travellers. The breakfast was typical but good.

The facilities are in need of renovation, clearly being holdovers from the early 2000s if not the 1990s. Granted, the owners are aware and are undertaking renovations. If you are looking for a comfortable bed and can overlook the dated, aged bathroom, peeling ceiling paint and generally run-down decor, this hotel is passable. But for 500k IDR for one night, I would expect better. I have seen a lot of hotels in Denpasar in similar condition, though, so I will probably look to Grand Safti again in the future after their renovation.
